Result against the US Pricing : prices went UP. In free market, reduction in demand would mean higher prices. Now, the cattlemen cartel would have you eat crow instead right ?<BR/><BR/>2. Argentina and brazilan beef banned from USA > could have created greater competition for cleaner meat ... chemical and steriod companies would not have that happen right ?<BR/><BR/>3. brazilian sugar based ethanol to help out the Picken's energy plan.<BR/><BR/>4. Oil prices ( even Paul Krugman did not notice ) were a force of speculation and collusion. Saudi Arabia should be brought to court in the Bronx along with Mobil and all the suspects.<BR/><BR/>5. etc<BR/><BR/>Working for the clampdown?<BR/><BR/>I'm not working for the clampdown.googleheimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14459089745473598235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-69693259638697926022008-12-10T12:22:00.000-05:002008-12-10T12:22:00.000-05:00Hi MikeHere's another good one on the Tsy's accoun...Hi Mike<BR/><BR/>Here's another good one on the Tsy's account and interactions with the Fed's open market operations, FYI. This is one of the more complete pieces I've seen on day-to-day Tsy cash mgmt. They don't see the larger paradigm, necessarily, but the operational details are there.<BR/><BR/>http://www.newyorkfed.org/research/current_issues/ci10-11/ci10-11.htmlSTFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16261666934714196464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-26219933862402037182008-12-10T11:29:00.000-05:002008-12-10T11:29:00.000-05:00Scott,Yes, it was your comment to me about this th...Scott,<BR/><BR/>Yes, it was your comment to me about this that made me go search for it.<BR/><BR/>-Mikemike normanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03296006882513340747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-77712501936761574232008-12-10T11:28:00.000-05:002008-12-10T11:28:00.000-05:00The free market is a fallacy.

Even if one aspect of a "free market" is regulated, influenced or controlled by anything, such as law, competitive advantage or monopolistic force or cartel, then all other transactions, prices and outputs are directly or indirectly influenced by that. Two good examples: interest rates, which are set by governments and oil prices and output, which is largely controlled by monopolistic forces.
